I got a TRMNL X and a Seeed e-ink display. I like them. The color Seeed display looks reasonably good for what it is. The TRMNL X has been running without recharging showing a single static image for well over six months. It might be approaching a year.

I just looked at their site and see that they have a color display that I wasn’t aware of and I’m mildly interested in purchasing one. I guess that’s my endorsement: bought one device, would buy another. Not affiliated, just a nerd who likes electronic toys.

They haven’t improved my life in any meaningful way, but I read a neat blog post about how someone used one to create a message board for a parent who survived a stroke or some other memory-impairment. The adult children could write helpful messages to the parent through a custom web portal created by the developer son. Got me interested, though we’re not doing anything practical like that.
